Swansea company announces rebranding

ST. LOUIS — Swansea-based workforce services provider CrowdSource announced this week it is rebranding itself as OneSpace.

CrowdSource employs a group of trained freelance workers who choose tasks from a catalog of work orders for agencies, marketers, retailers, publishers and service providers. The scalable workforce serves companies mainly in the digital marketing industry.

OneSpace is expanding upon CrowdSource’s managed services business by providing enterprises direct access to the market’s most comprehensive platform for implementing a flexible talent strategy, a press release said.

“Our new look, logo and website publicly reflect the evolution that has been taking place within our walls since the beginning of the year,” said OneSpace CEO and Co-founder Stephanie Leffler. “It’s important that our new brand reflect our vision of a single platform in the cloud where companies and freelancers can collaborate and establish the flexible work environment of the future.”

OneSpace builds upon CrowdSource’s foundation with a workforce management platform that gives companies control over recruitment, project management and performance management within a virtual work environment. The company will accept applications for participation in the beta release, due to hit the market in early 2016.

OneSpace said it is also enhancing its platform for freelancers and contractors. The expanded freelancer platform will serve as a central base of operations where independent professionals can build their careers as free agents.

Founded by Stephanie Leffler and Ryan Noble, OneSpace is backed by Highland Capital and Draper Fisher Jurvetson. The company has two patents pending, and maintains a team of 50 in its St. Louis-based corporate headquarters. OneSpace’s network includes more than 500,000 freelancers and independent professionals worldwide.
